The “Entrepreneurs in Health” (EIH) program was launched in 2017 in collaboration with the AUA Turpanjian Rural Development Program (TRDP). The aim of this project is to improve access to quality health services in rural communities of Armenia, Artsakh, and Javakhk through introduction of advanced technologies and innovative approaches supporting healthcare professionals to develop private health practices. The EIH program equips those healthcare providers willing to establish private practices in rural communities (EIH beneficiaries) with necessary knowledge and skills through trainings on entrepreneurship and healthcare quality assurance, assists in financing establishment of their practices, as well as provides continuous support throughout the process of establishment and operation of private practices, through mentoring, professional consultancy, monitoring, and evaluation. The activities of EIH are highlighted in the annual reports and stories:
